Ripping to NAS

[souwalker]

I've just started ripping my Cd collection (FLAC) straight to my NAS. Jut started so it's 10 down and about 700 more to go. Before I continue, I read that there is a utility which rips to local drive then copy across? I can't find it anywhere. Do I really need one?

Is this really necessary? And what will be the consequences if I rip direct to NAS without this utility?

And is there instructions on how to use?

I've been reading the above link and looks like it still has some bugs?

How a re the folders created if rip to local drive? Do I then manually move the ripped files to the NAS?

I've ripped about 10 CD direct to NAS. From what I see, all seems ok to me. Sorry for these questions but I just need explanation why I can't rip and put the 'Path' to my NAS as I am doing now.

Thanks

Ok, I just installed Encode Local but not yet use.

I can see that once I select 'Rip To' :Encode LOcal, I get another section where I select 'Encode To'. I select FLAC.

What do I put in the Local Encode Folder field? There is a %tmp% now. Do I just leave %tmp% there and Encode Local will auto encode FLAC into a temp folder in my C drive, then automatically transfer my files to my NAS ? I have the 'Path' already set to my NAS folder. Will Local Encode then remove all the temp files?

Re: Ripping to NAS

It is fully automatic, you would leave as %tmp%

as for if you need it, run a speed test with and without it.

Re: Ripping to NAS

Encode Local seems to be working great.

Question, will the files be removed from the temp folder automatically?
